Arkansas-Mississippi State postgame: The Warren Commission

Saturday was a big day for the Razorback receiving trio of Chris Gragg, Jarius Wright and Greg Childs, all proud graduates of Warren (Ark.) High.

They combined for 19 catches for 247 yards and a touchdown that belonged to Gragg, a tight end who had a game-high eight catches for 119 yards.

"I've known Jarius since about kindergarten and Greg since about second grade," said Gragg, a 6-3, 236-pound junior who has emerged in the last half of the season as one of quarterback Tyler Wilson's primary targets. "I know we all can make plays and when all of us are making plays and having fun, we usually have a pretty good outcome."

Wright had eight catches for 96 yards and Childs, Arkansas' primary receiver last season before sustaining a season-ending knee injury, had three catches for 32 yards. It was one of Childs' better games this season in his struggle to battle back from knee surgery.

"He had that spark, it was like the Greg of old," Wilson said. "I told him, 'I'm going get you the ball, because you're playing hard.' I got him the ball a few times and he looked great. It's a good time of year to show that kind of ability."

Dylan's day

With Mississippi State backup quarterback Chris Relf not playing on Saturday after sustaining a concussion in the Bulldogs' previous loss to Alabama, State coach Dan Mullen turned to redshirt freshman Dylan Favre as his QB reliever for starter Tyler Russell. Favre, nephew of former NFL quarterback Brett Favre, saw his most action this season, especially with the game out of reach in the fourth quarter.

His performance was a mixed bag. He ran for a second-quarter TD and threw for 72 yards, including a 13-yard, fourth-down TD pass to Malcolm Johnson with 15 seconds left to play. But he also was sacked twice, the second time resulting in a fumble near midfield that Arkansas recovered and converted into its final TD drive.

"Before you even ask the question," Mullen said afterward, "Tyler Russell will be the starting quarterback next week (against Ole Miss). I expect Chris to play and maybe Dylan as well. We'll see how that goes in practice."

Adams is A-OK

Arkansas wide receiver/punt return specialist Joe Adams had an average day, with three catches for 27 yards and a TD, and two punt returns for seven yards.

He left the game with an apparent eye injury. But -- maybe because he didn't want Hogs' fans to get nervous about his status for next Friday's game at No. 1 LSU -- Adams made a rare postgame appearance to speak to the media.

"My eye got scratched and during the game I couldn't see," Adams said. "But I'm fine now. I wasn't going to let the eye bother me. I'm from Little Rock, this is my last game in this stadium and we wanted to finish this season unbeaten at home.

"That's all we talked about this week. To win championships, you've got to make sure to win all your home games."

The Hogs won all their home games for the first time since 1999. They were 5-0 in Fayetteville and 2-0 in Little Rock.
